Ohio SRO Escorted from Campus after Issuing Ticket to Principal

An officer with the Warren (OH) Police Department who issued a ticket to the principal of an elementary school for parking in a handicapped spot was summarily escorted off campus for the effort, according to WQAD-TV.

Warren police union representative Michael Currington said that the principal was warned several times about the infraction before being issued the ticket on Tuesday.

"Resource officer Adam Chinchic was ordered and escorted out of the building by the school's business manager and the head of security in the same fashion as a criminal," Currington said.

Currington added that Officer Chinchic was especially upset by what happened because he had promised a little girl that they could eat lunch together and would not be able to fulfill that pledge.

Trooper Nic Cederberg with the Oregon State Police was awarded a National Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor on Wednesday during a White House ceremony hosted by President Donald Trump. The award is the highest national award for valor a public safety officer can receive.

The Torrington (CT) Police Department said on Facebook that a man wanted on warrants for failing to appear in court on charges that range from breach of peace to risk of injury to a child has made a deal with the agency if his wanted poster on Facebook gets 15,000 "likes."
